2) Reduce the input pointer loop carried dependency chain from 7 cycles to 4 cycles by using pre-loading. This is a very subtle point. 3) Just brutally copy 64 bytes which removes a difficult to predict branch from the inner most loop. There is enough bandwidth to do so in the intrinsic cycles of the loop. 4) Implement limit pointers that include the slop region. This removes unnecessary instructions from the hot path. 5) It seems the removal of the difficult to predict branch has removed the code sensitivity to alignment, so remove the asm nop's.
